Hi and thanks. Nardil has been the only AD that has touched my depression. I felt a noticable lift in my mood and confidence. When I tried SSRI's, I could never really tell if they were doing any good or not.
The insomnia trouble I had was early awakening. When I started waking up at 4:00 a.m. totally alert and unable to get back to sleep, I started taking Ambien 10 mg. That helped me to stay asleep. Ambien CR also did, but it left me feeling depressed and sort of "hung over" the next day, unfortunately. I also now take Provigil, and that has helped me with my sleep/wake cycle, too, so that I rarely need Ambien anymore.
Hope that helps. :)
